Study Notes

Module Overview

  • Quarter 2 Module 5 focuses on finding answers to research questions through data analysis and interpretation.
  • The module guides in interpreting data and using data analysis methods.

Learning Objectives

  • Gather and analyze data with intellectual honesty using suitable techniques.

Key Terms

  • Research data represents any information collected, observed, or generated to validate a research study.
  • Data analysis involves examining and shaping collected data for interpretation to find relevant information, draw conclusions, and support problem-solving and decision-making.
  • Data interpretation involves making sense of numerical data that has been collected, analyzed, and presented.
  • A conceptual framework acts like an analytical tool that provides a means to get a comprehensive understanding of a phenomenon using visualization to explain key concepts or variables and relationships.

Data Analysis in Research

  • Data analysis simplifies wordy data into a meaningful narrative.
  • Data analysis involves organizing data, summarizing, categorizing, and identifying patterns and themes.
  • Data analysis may reveal unexpected, intriguing stories.
  • Qualitative data analysis involves texts, phrases, images, objects, and symbols.
  • Quantitative data analysis involves numbers and statistics.
  • Statistical analysis includes calculations like average and median, and more complex analyses such as correlations and regressions.
  • Descriptive statistics provides details about a specific data set.
  • Inferential statistics aims to make inferences about a population.
  • The two common types of predictions in inferential statistics are prediction between groups and relationships between variables.

Common Inferential Methods

  • T-Tests (evaluates if the means of 2 groups are statistically different)
  • ANOVA (analysis of variance: evaluates the difference among more than two groups)
  • Correlation Analysis (measures the extent to which two variables are related)
  • Regression Analysis (examines the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables)
